this election we had 35. so people are absolutely dug to their positions and it is very, very difficult to get anybody -- >> given that reality, george will, what could the president do if he wanted to to kind of bridge those divides? >> well, it's extremely easy. these are splittable differences on whether or not -- how and whether we're going to pay for the welfare state. you heard me before, george, i disagree with all four of you. i don't think this division is what characterizes this town. it's a vast, deep consensus we're going to have a large generous welfare state and not pay for it. everyone is agreed on that and until the arithmetic forces us to change on that, these other issues are small potatoes. >> rick santorum, house republicans certainly seem to feel some of the pressure on those issues this week. they announced at the end of the week they're not going to hold up this debt limit and seek a three-month extension on the debt limit to give some breathing space for negotiations. you know, you hea

he was last seen in washington when he was re-elected speaker of the house. there are reports he and the house gop are at an annual retreat in williamsburg, yet conservatives like hugh hewitt are calling him a milk carton republican because he's gone missing on several very important debates. do you know where he is? >> you know, i have not personally seen this man, john boehner, but i have heard of him. i know who he is vaguely. i think he's the guy that had the most miserable, unpleasant speakership in the history of the republic, and it was because he had these conservative freshmen who came in all excited to undo the government, and they didn't understand that as speaker his job is to not undo the government. so he's had this problem where he can't please conservatives like hugh hewitt because they want him to champion real conservative principles but he can't get re-elected in his district, and republicans can't win on a national level if they champion those same values. i think right now boehner has chosen to just go quiet and sort of back away from the

that was partly what this whole election was about. i agree there's no part in not giving dignity to the opposition but right now i think he has to play an outside game as well as an inside game. he has to bring the characters to the white house, spend time with the democrats and republicans but the only way i think he's going to have a strategy to move things in the house and the senate is to make the country itself pressure from the outside in. that's when teddy roosevelt had to do because he had a republican party that wouldn't do his bidding so he got the press and public to push them from the outside in. that's what his second term has to do and it's different from the way he did hit in the first term. he tried the consensus route. it doesn't mean you won't reach it ultimately but to have your people pushing in your idea of what you want to happen be the country's idea. you have to provide a story for the country. this conversation i had with the president last summer about what he considers the mistakes of his first term. here it
